Sweet Lou to be on Mike & Mike

[JWCUB]

He will be on at 9:44 ET. Wonder what he will say.

[Derwood]

I'm guessing he won't say anything at all useful. It's not in the team's best interest if he talks about players he wants, etc. I'm sure Hendry told him to say he's excited about the challenge, blah, blah, blah

[RynoRules]

He's on now and they are asking him about the WS. Lou, compared to Dusty, seems lucid and well-spoken.

[JWCUB]

Greeny said "We will talk to you later when you trade for Arod."

[Bergy92]

he said nothing useful as far as Cubs go

 

oh well, btw, he does think the Tigers will win the WS - so hopefully that is because he despises the Cardinals already...

IIRC, Sweaty Lou grew up with TLR and they have an intensely competitive relationship

I posted this on another message board (and honestly have no clue why), but this was my thoughts after hearing the tenth Piniella interview:

 

<

Did John McDonough and Jim Hendry decide that due to the lower ratings they needed another marketing guy to help sell the team? It seems lke the same old stuff we've heard from every other manager.

I don't hear the confident attitude I expected out of Piniella.

 

It's not even the official offseason and I'm already discouraged. If the Cubs are going into the season half pregnant again, like last year, than I really don't know if I could handle watching this again. I live in S. Florida and I can tell you that it was a lot more fun watching and cheering for a bunch of young talented kids than it was watching poor play out of veterans and middle tier prospects. The Cubs didn't have the farm system or the talent the Marlins did, but if they would have decided to go that route rather than a mix of the two than I would have understood and would have rooted for them--even if they were in last place. They need to decide to do one or the other and not waste more yrs.>>

The 1990 WS immediately comes to mind.
